So, only one new hole in the backyard. Quite a deep one though lmao. But she did okay. She was very happy to see me when I got home. We went for a walk, and then I tried to feed her dinner but she didn't want me out of her sight. So we relaxed for a bit, then I put her out with her food until Roger got home. She was super excited to see him too. So was I, I got cold sleeping by myself and had to get an extra blanket.

LOL! It's funny how we get used to having that body heat and can't self-regulate quite as well isn't it?

Yeah, I'm spoiled, what can I say. LOL.

Since it's already Christmas Eve some places, I'll just say Merry Christmas to all now! Make it a good one, don't let the WAS/ex get to you, and enjoy the little things.

I had a nice weekend. My mom got me a tree for the house, a Japanese red maple. Roger got me a Kindle! My brother got me some earrings he forgot to remove the price tag from. LOL. Lit a fire and watched some movies, made a ham dinner and generally was lazy.

Yesterday I got the tree planted. Had to put chicken wire around it to keep the puppy from digging the soft soil back up.

Not excited to be back at work today, but what can you do. At least it's quiet since half the office is out this week.

Saw a friend of mine for coffee and she told me an interesting tidbit. Apparently xh contacted her last week on instant messenger. He was home from work and bored. He told her he called in sick to work because he was cleaning out his computer and found a bunch of pictures and videos of us and was reminded of his stupidity. It depressed him so much he stayed home.

Part of me thinks it's funny and karmic. I kinda want to be like, you should have thought of that 3 1/2 years ago (or even 2 1/2 yrs ago when we were dating again).

Even though I know nothing can take back the last few years, it still makes me sad. It makes me see the futility of the divorce. None of this had to happen, and I wish it hadn't. But all the king's horses and all the king's men can't put it back together again. We both have to live with the consequences of his actions.

Regrets are hard to live with. It serves him well.

You have created a wonderful life for you. Keep it that way.
Love

That is very true my dear. Mostly, my "regrets" are things I had no real control over. I wish he'd realized what he was doing sooner, I wish he'd swallowed his pride and actually tried to meet me halfway. Ah well.

Life is good.

Puppy dog tore some chunks of wood out of the gate yesterday and escaped. So I got a call from a utilities employee who got my cell number off her dog tags. So I left work early and then went to home depot to buy fence boards. Fun fun fun. Luckily it was pretty quick fix. And now the gate is puppy proofed.

Took my dad out to dinner for his birthday last night. Our waitress was hysterical. Rose was 81 and had a great sense of humor. When she found out it was his birthday, she sang him happy birthday in a hysterical Marilyn Monroe imitation (she has quite a good voice too) and got us a desert with a candle in it. It was quite an entertaining evening.

And I have another 3 day weekend. So, TGIF!!!!

(((Everyone)))

What a wonderful birthday dinner for you dad. That must have been a hoot!

Glad you get a 3 day weekend. Those are always welcome aren't they?

That is one rambunctious puppy dog you have there. She is going to give you fits until she's trained. They bring so much love and joy though.

Happy New Year!

Hugs, kat

Happy New Year Michelle!!

Yes, she's a handful. But so sweet and loving and smart. She's already making progress with her training, so we'll get there.

Did my 10k run this afternoon. It went well considering half of it was mud lol. I didn't lose a shoe (although I did tie them tight and double-knot them), I only rolled my ankle on a rock once, and I finished lol. Did it in 1 hr 17 minutes. Would have liked to be closer to an hour and 6, but with the hills and elevation I knew it probably wouldn't happen.

Came home to a clogged drain though. So my muddy, stinky self had to wait until the plumber arrived and cleaned out my pipes to get a shower. By which point there was minimal hot water left.

I think I'm going to turn the heated mattress pad on and go crawl into bed with a good book lol.
